CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what I want in live

ABOUT ME

A few words to describe myself: I am 27 years old, originally coming from Frankfurt, Germany. However, I have lived, studied and worked around the globe (Buenos Aires, Delhi and Berkeley). After finishing school I have worked in a social project in Buenos Aires for more than a year and also had the opportunity to travel around South America. After that I started studying political science, with a major focus in International Trade and Development Studies. I love sports (soccer and tennis) and literature (Nassim Taleb, Daniel Kahneman), i truly enjoy travelling and cooking and I would call myself as a very curious mind who is interested in a number of different things and who love deep talks with inquiring minds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Chile, close to Parque Nacional Torres del Paine (lovely host who gave me a great accomadation together with a number of other guys from all around the world all willin to go to the world famous natinonal Park, close to the Argentinean border. She even gave me a tent so I could save some mone, being not forced to spend the nights in the expensive hotels in the national park. In return for her favors, I cooked typicall German food for the whole group, where we shared a lot of interesting stories from South America backpackers.
